Did the hike today with my wife. The trail is very clean, well blazed and pretty easy. Didnt see any wildlife or wildflowers. There is a dirt parking area off Rt 85 on the east side. The hike was pleasant but nothing special. I would do.it again.

hiked during the summer 16, did an in and out for a total of 11 miles, starting at the Hwy 85 TH. Creek crossings were beautiful. trail well marked with the ubiquitous FTA orange blaze. Well worth the effort.
